Martin Stirrup

Singer/songwriter

An old folkie who got back into it...

These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song

Is it knowledge that's dangerous or how it is used? A take on the Adam&Eve or Pandora's Box conundrum based on what is apparentley a Dublin saying It wasn't the apple above, it was the pair (pear) below' or 'it wasn't the apple but the pair that ate it'...

Lyrics

AE 04 Dont  blame the apple

Dont  blame the apple   Just blame the pair
No praise for innocence In the unaware
How you use your knowledge  Can elate or a scare
Don't blame the apple Just blame the pair

Uncle Albert had some great ideas
He had this way of seeing a problem clear
So they tested it out to see if he was right
Well the bang they made was rather loud
Sending up that mushroom cloud
But its hardly his fault if they set the world alight

Cousin Tim now was another clever guy
He really had a visionary eye
Now we all keep in touch without a glitch or bump
But the echo chambers a dangerous thing
Social media makes those alarm bells ring
But its not his fault if some troll gives you the hump

Some say ignorance is bliss   But I tend to disagree
I think they just take the piss   For it would all end dismally
There's so much that we'd all miss If so blinkered we should be
You'd have to be brave  To live in a cave  
Like a naked chimpanzee

Brother Jesus taught that love should be enough
Peace  and understanding, all that hippy stuff
Yet some folks put down others in his name
Thereve been plenty of wars in the name of peace
Having god on your side can release the beast
Still it's hardly fair to give the guy the blame.
